Actually both console cup holders will hold bottles of wine. Had 2 in there Saturday night. Bet a cop would get a kick out of that if you got pulled over!

It is more to the "bad" for 3RX than good for 4RX. Yesterday I stopped at a red light on a hilly road, side-by-side with a 3RX. When we started moving, that 3RX actually rolled backward and my 4RX did not roll backward at all

You have you're auto-lock at ON.
I use it rarely.

Are you talking about Hill Start Assist? I do not even know it can be turned off.

You press the button "hold" that is on the left of the seat heating buttons and just above the "auto" with a green LED lit, the symbol will disappear from the dash. Congratulations! It is now turned off!

My understanding, Hill Start Assist and Auto Hold are two different features. I rarely use the Auto Hold either.

PeeVee

Auto hold can be used for hill assist, or rest your foot while at a red light and you don't need to hold the brake pedal.

I never heard or seen another feature than that for hill.

guxu

Hill Start Assist will hold your brake for several seconds when the car detects it is on a slope. Auto Hold, just as you said, will hold the brake for you till you step on the gas pedal. Most of the car models I checked in recent years have the Hill Start Assist feature. But not all of them have Auto Hold.

This is a interesting bad discovery and more of a question - that i didnt think was worthy of a new thread.

Wife and I commute to and from work together everyday. After we pull up to work and park.. i shut the car off and open the driver side car - the car proceeds to BEEP until my wife opens the passenger side door. this is generally longer than i would like... and its a nuisance when my kids fall asleep in the car and i would like to let them nap a bit longer...

To the best of my knowledge and memory - the beeping does not occur when i drive alone - then again it may be because i get out and close the driver side door quick enough that i never notice...

Why does the car BEEP until the passenger side door is opened??? Is Lexus worried i am going to lock my wife in the car accidentally??

With the old ignitions - i understood that the beeping was needed if the key was left in the ignition - so it was reminder... HEY DONT FORGET THE KEYS....

Thanks for any info...

Does your wife have her key fob on her?

If you look into your dash, you may see a message something like "key still in the car". So you don't leave the car without the key cause someone can steel it with the key inside, it warns you.

It happened to me a couple of times.

It is very interesting that I just noticed the BEEP yesterday when I was checking the head-liner because of that sunroof thread. After I was done (sunroof was closed, car was off), I heard the BEEP when I was outside and the driver door was open. I was the only person near the car and the key fob is always in my pocket.

I did not notice anything unusual this morning.
